I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Zymol carbon wax is not technically for carbon, its for dark coloured cars. Have used it for years and it is fantastic stuff.

Anyway, if the carbon is laquered then any polish/wax will do the trick.





If its broke, fix it. If it aint broke, take it apart and find out how it works!

I concur. Any general cutting/polishing paste will do the job. Just don't scorch the surface and don't scratch anything!

Polishing carbon fibre must be a challenge unless it is lacquered.

I used to paint F1 tubs and the carbon was hard enough to key before painting with a DA so I bet you need ceramic polish of something to polish it properly.

Unless you are not looking to remove scratches in which case any fine glaze and polymer wax will do the job.





Summer's here!!!!
